The local Lifesaving Club runs though out the winter months offering a wide range of Lifesaving awards

Focusing on teaching water safety & Drowning Prevention through education, the Club lifesaving classes consist of – Rookies Lifeguards, Survive and Safe and CPR Life-Support classes. Rookie Lifeguard Courses. Suitable for 8-12 year olds, this is a fun way to learn how to save lives in and around water. The Survive and Safe Course has three levels; Bronze, Silver, Gold, within theirs levels are four awards strands,

Medallion Lifesaving Awards – Completed in the Swimming pool.

Beach Lifesaving Awards – Completed in the sea.

Stillwater Lifesaving – Completed at inland open water.

Sports Lifesaving – Completed in the Swimming pool.

There is no time frame to complete the levels you work at your own pace and when you are ready to be assessed for the level you are at it would be arranged by the club.

We are now a Duke of Edinburgh Awards Center and anyone interested in achieving their awards can achieve them with us.

Age from 14 – 24 years old so even if you did not do this a School you can still pursue your DofE awards.
